Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 299 Discovery of Oil
"Hedong District Government? That's a good piece of land. Did you agree to it? Why did you give it to him?" Cui Zheng's face suddenly changed.

Cui Daohuai didn't say a word, he just took a puff and didn't take a puff of cigarettes. Cui Xiufang saw her grandfather like this, of course she understood, and quickly explained.

"Grandpa, father, Xiufang didn't agree to His Royal Highness, but just asked His Royal Highness why he wanted that piece of land."

"His Royal Highness means that he needs a place close to the waterway to build a factory, and the land in the Hedong District Government is suitable, so I asked Xiufang, and said that if we can promise him, grandpa's fine wine and cigarettes in the future, he will be free of charge." supply!"

Hearing this, Cui Zheng became anxious, but Cui Daohuai waved his hand and said: "Okay, the prince is generous. I have made the decision to give it to the prince, hahaha..."

"Father!" Cui Zheng became anxious when he heard this. "The land in Hedong District is a good piece of land. It is close to the river and is valued by Li Fu. It must have an ulterior motive. We must not be careful to guard against it!"

Cui Daohuai glanced at his son indifferently, "Li Fu is going to set us up, you can stop it, a piece of wasteland, rather than keeping it to offend others, it is not as beautiful as an adult, our family is not short of that piece of land!"

"Father, this is a big matter. We should discuss it carefully. Don't be reckless. Why don't you tell the Patriarch..." Cui Zheng still warned, and Cui Xiufang became anxious when she heard the words.

Fortunately, it was something Cui Daohuai decided, and Cui Zheng could not question it at all, so he waved his hand directly, "That's it, Xiufang, where is the land deed, you know, this is the key, you can take it and give it to the prince directly. "

Seeing that Cui Daohuai handed over all the keys of the land deed to her, Cui Xiufang was suddenly excited. Cui Zheng watched from the side and was so anxious that he was about to jump, but he could only watch helplessly.

In the early morning of the second day, Cui Xiufang made a trip to the East Palace and handed over the title deed of the Hedong district government to Li Fu.

After getting the title deed, Li Fu immediately arranged for Shen Lian to take people straight to the Hedong district government, preparing to mine copper and iron ore.

But after a few days, Shen Lian brought back news that surprised Li Fu.

"Your Highness, the land in Hedong District, the copper mine and the iron ore belt are completely fake!" Shen Lian looked solemn.

"Fake? The one before that..." Li Fu raised his eyebrows, he didn't care, he was just curious why the Jinyiwei Secret Service got such an important thing wrong.

"The subordinates are incompetent, they failed to train those subordinates well, they were too careless, they only probed the surface!"

Shen Lian looked annoyed, "Those people were too careless in their work. They only explored the surface, but not what was underneath. My subordinates went to investigate and found that there was a copper mine. Under the surface, everything was dark brown. liquid!"

"Dark brown liquid?" Li Fu frowned again when he heard this, "Have you found out what it is?"

"No, that stuff smells weird, and it can burn, so the subordinate brought some back just for that."

As Shen Lian said, he asked his subordinates to bring in a small bucket, and signaled to Li Fu, "His Royal Highness, look, this is it. The entire surface is full of this kind of thing, and it has a strange smell. !"

Li Fu came forward with great interest, took a closer look, his expression changed suddenly, and he blurted out: "Oil?"

I really didn't expect that during this trip, Shen Lian didn't find copper ore or iron ore for himself, but he found oil for himself!

Did the Tang Dynasty have oil?Li Fu didn't know, but there was indeed oil in front of him, and Li Fu became even more excited when he thought that there was oil under the surface of the entire Hedong district government.

Shen Lian looked at the excited Li Fu with a bewildered expression. He really didn't understand why Li Fu was happy?Is this dark liquid worth being so happy about?
Seeing Shen Lian's bewildered expression, Li Fu patted Shen Lian's shoulder vigorously, "Shen Lian, you did a good job, this time your Jin Yiwei has made a great contribution, and you will get a thousand coins back, and reward you well! "

"Do you know, this is a good thing. With it, our steelmaking technology, as well as military industry, can make great progress. By then, our Datang will make great strides in development!"

The more Li Fu said, the more excited he became. He could find oil in this era. No matter how idle he was, he couldn't be idle.

"Shen Lian, you should go back to the Hedong district government right away and investigate carefully. The area with underground oil and all the plots are all fenced off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Li Fu knew that no one knew how to use oil except himself. He wanted to extract the oil as soon as possible to facilitate subsequent refining, because he had already signed in to obtain an oil refinery from the system.

At that time, it is only necessary to put the oil refinery in the Hedong District Government, and the related products of oil can be refined and decomposed.

Although Shen Lian still didn't understand why Li Fu was happy, he knew that the liquid in front of him was very important to Li Fu, so he knew what to do.

So after knowing what Li Fu wanted to do when he returned to Hedong, he immediately rushed back to the Hedong district government.

On the other side, in the Cui Mansion in Chang'an City, Cui Zheng laughed loudly in front of Cui Daohuai, "Father, I have already found out that the Prince's people discovered copper mines on the land of our Hedong District Mansion!"

"The good news is that their people didn't check clearly. There is indeed a copper mine in that place, but the stock is very small. There are only shallow landmarks, and the bottom of the copper mine layer is full of waste water. This time the prince has lost a lot!"

Cui Zheng laughed loudly, but Cui Daohuai was noncommittal, and Cui Xiufang looked at her father puzzled.

She didn't understand why the Cui family was so hostile to the prince. They were obviously stronger than the Cui family, so wouldn't they be afraid to annoy the prince and make the Cui family look good?
"Since that's the case, it's easy, and we've got rid of a burden because of this, and we haven't offended the prince!"

"Cui Zheng, don't be so hostile to the prince. We haven't officially become an enemy of the prince yet. Please restrain me. If you show your feet, I will ask for you."

When Cui Zheng heard what his father said seriously, he quickly agreed.

In the Tang Palace, in the Taiji Palace, the Duke of Wei, Li Jing, performed.

"Your Majesty, the official road from Guanzhong to Longyou has been damaged in many places due to disrepair for a long time. I will implore Your Majesty to allocate manpower and material resources to rebuild the official road immediately. Otherwise, once our army leaves Longyou again, it will be restrained in many ways." .”

The son-in-law Chai Shao also came forward and said: "Your Majesty, what Duke Wei said is true. When Duke Wei pursued and suppressed the remnants of Xue Yantuo, he thought that the official road was damaged, which resulted in the failure to arrive at the front line as scheduled, which made Yinan escape."

"So the repair of the official road is imminent, please think twice, Your Majesty!"
